  1. Every part, not just the pollen ✔
  2. Only the pollen

Why: International Cat Care says all parts of a lily are toxic, not just the pollen. That means a pollen-free lily is still not safe to keep around cats.

Huh, didn't know that: Lilies are popular in bouquets and flower arrangements, so they often arrive as gifts.
